DATEDELIM

Specifies a single character as the delimiter between the year, month, and day components to override the default delimiter determined by the HCOSS DIALECT or DATE directive specification.

Syntax

DATEDELIM=character

Properties:

Default: None

Dependencies:

Requires that either the DATE or the DIALECT directive also be set.

Scope:

Used at compile time: Yes
Behavior at run time: Source file

See Scope - OpenESQL SQL Compiler Directive Options for more information.

Comments:

The default delimiter overridden is the delimiter used in by output type parameter specified for the DATE directive, if set. For example, if DATE=USA, the default delimiter is a slash (/).

When using the HCOSS DIALECT directive without the DATE directive, the default delimiter overridden is a dash (-).
